美国联邦调查局（FBI）于周一早晨通报，一名43岁的前美军士兵安德鲁·阿拉巴卡在纽约曼哈顿26号联邦广场外实施纵火并开枪射击，导致三人受伤 [1][2]。事发时间约为当地时间早上8:30 [1]。
阿拉巴卡被确认为前陆军爱国者导弹系统维修兵 [1]。据FBI纽约办事处助理主任詹姆斯·巴纳克尔描述，该嫌疑人是一名“反美、反政府极端分子” [1]。BBC报道也指出，官员称其为“反ICE（美国移民和海关执法局）”的退伍军人 [2]。
在袭击过程中，阿拉巴卡点燃了烟花并泼洒汽油制造火堆，同时使用气枪射击 [1]。警方在其身上发现了包括两把斧头、一把马刀、三把刀以及烟花和气枪在内的多种武器 [2]。
此次事件造成三人受伤：两名政府雇员和一名正在旁听移民听证会的平民 [1][2]。其中一人被送往医院，但情况稳定，无生命危险；制服阿拉巴卡的安保人员也受轻伤 [1]。
26号联邦广场是美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）及移民法庭的所在地，近期因反对特朗普政府的移民政策而成为抗议活动的焦点 [1][2]。目前，FBI已介入调查，但尚未将此次事件定性为恐怖主义行为 [1]。
A former U.S. Army soldier ignited a fire and discharged a pellet gun outside a federal building in Manhattan on Monday morning, resulting in minor injuries to three people [1][2]. The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. at 26 Federal Plaza, a complex housing offices for the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and immigration courts [1][2].
Andrew Arrabaca, 43, a former Patriot missile system repairman, was identified as the suspect [1]. According to officials, Arrabaca set off fireworks, poured gasoline to start a fire, and fired a pellet gun while carrying weapons including two axes, a saber, three knives, and other items [1][2]. Security personnel subdued him at the scene [1].
The attack left three individuals with minor injuries: two government employees and one civilian who was attending an immigration hearing [1][2]. One of the injured parties was transported to a hospital but is not in life-threatening condition [1]. The security officers who restrained Arrabaca also sustained minor injuries [1].
James Barnackel, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s New York Office, described Arrabaca as an "anti-American, anti-government extremist" [1]. While the FBI has taken custody of the suspect, officials have not yet classified the incident as a terrorist act [1][2]. The location has recently become a focal point for protests against immigration policies [1][2].
